Hood Mounted Turn Signals

[The Rebel]

Over the weekend hooked everything up and lights were working. Installed first one and tested. Now not working. Uninstalled it and now no lights. Switched to a new bulb and still nothing. I have original primary wire that hooks into the main but have newer lead wires.

Guess I'm going to get a brand new set but CI is out of stock but they seem to be the cheapest. Anyone know of a company that sells them for $199 like CI.

Thanks in advance,
Roger

Sounds like a ground problem at the housing area where it attaches to the hood...

Thanks Justin. I assembled the primary to the 2 lead wires without installing them into the lens assembly. They worked fine & they blinked. When I inserted the 1st one into the lens assembly nothing worked. So I unplugged it and tried the other one just loose & nothing. I disassembled the 1st one from the lens assembly exactly as I had tested and now nothing worked. I brass wire brushed the terminals thinking it was a bad connecting but no dice. Will give it another go once I get my car back from the shop.

It grounds on the tabs on the hood....You have to remove the housing bracket and clean up the tab....

I had those on my first (new) Road Runner in '69 and they didn't work. Took it back to the dealer and they claimed it needed a heavy duty flasher. They replaced the flasher and it worked ever since.

Was a ground issue as 2 owners ago everything under the hood got painted over with everything in place. I'm learning a LOT from you guys here. Thanks for all of your help!
